Train arms everyday for bigger arms? Anyone have tips for bigger arms?

[vitamin_S]

So, I gain very sloooow when trying to build my arms. I recently stumbled upon this article:
Tip: Train Biceps Every Damn Day for Fast Growth | T Nation

Even when on gear I still have a hard time building my arms (and glutes). Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe it's my genes, maybe maybe maybe!

Got any tips for me?
Thanks in advance

Eat more.

Train smarter.

 

[Evom1]

Train them less, but very intensely and to true failure, slow controlled reps. Lots of food

 

[KillaBig]

lift heavy and isolate, Give them there own day.

 

[Mighty-mouse]

I hit arms almost every god damn day

@Roger rabbit what's your recommendation? i know you had a suggestion for calves and i think i recall you saying that it could be used for biceps too?

Like wearing a hard hat during lifting? What the hell does that even mean?

Random wires connecting in his brain, nothing more. He thinks he's helping but he's inadvertently telling OP he trains like a fool. All mindless has to offer is boy scouts publications and key jelly. Mindless, eat something gunpowdery and made of lead. Any guesses?

While on gear...

- Hit bi’s & tri’s every 4 days.
- Hit them hard (lots of intensity).
- Eat properly, including the right amount of protein for your body.
- Sleep well.

You’ll grow. Best of luck to you!

I agree. If you want a body part to grow you train them every damn day.

Look at concrete masons... they have giant firearms... sling enough concrete every damn day and the forearm adapts.

Get yourself in a good 200+ reps and watch them grow by force adaptation.
This recruits satellite cells to the area. Satellite cells are very important for growth.

Just give yourself a few days recovery period once per month. Preferably 3weeks hard 1 week off.

Blockmasons, toting those big boxcars all day long. Everyone looked like Popeye. I spent two decades working with these guys and always envyied their forearms, massive veiny guns.

I feel ya on that one. I was in sales and would set up at Rinker and follow block trucks to the job. I remember seeing blocks loaded in with the sand truck sometimes.

Let me footnote this by saying my arms are still shit, but they were even more shit before my latest offseason.

The biggest mistake I see with arm training (or any small muscle group) is pushing weight too heavy.

Use weight that allows you to truly isolate only the intended group. Bis and tris are small muscle groups. Involuntary recruitment of delts, back, chest etc is super easy. Compounds are great for overall growth but if your arms are weak I bet they’re not doing a bunch in your bench or rows.

To combat this, use weight that kills you in 8-15 CONTROLLED reps. Use movements and form that allow you to lock in and brace the shoulder joint to keep movement ONLY at the elbow and wrist unless the intent is to exercise the rotation about the shoulder of the biceps and triceps.

Training them every day is a viable plan for short periods on nearly every muscle group but don’t consider it a permanent adaptation to your training split.

I try to concentrate on all three portions of the tricep and heavy barbell curls(Olympic bar)for biceps.

Favorite exercises for triceps-
Weighted dips (no lean style)
Close-grip Bench press
Skull crushers (barbell)

Biceps-
Heavy Barbell Curls
Weighted Chin Ups
Hammer Curls

I’m gonna throw a wrench in here but my arms got noticeably bigger and faster when I did heavy rows on back day. And a lot of them at varying angles/planes. Same with weighted dips on chest days. Heavy weight and lots of sets. Slow/controlled reps.

What works for me or others may not work for you. I like slow reps so I can concentrate on the muscle I’m targeting.

Also, FOOD!

I've noticed this too.
not a fan of one body part a week.
but everyones different.
